UN passes Africa-backed map resolution 164-1, US the lone dissenter — Sep 4, 2026The United Nations General Assembly is set to vote on an Africa-led resolution, backed by the African Union and spearheaded by Togo, urging the use of Equal Earth and other equal-area maps to reflect more accurate continental sizes rather than maintaining the Mercator projection, though it does not ban Mercator. Proponents argue the Mercator distortion downplays Africa and other equatorial regions, and the vote seeks to establish a more proportional global norm across governments, schools, and tech platforms.

Elena Vasquez Fine by me if schools switch to Equal Earth, kids should learn the real proportions of continents instead of that old skewed version.

Saudi Arabia to grant IAEA expanded nuclear inspections, stopping short of full protocol — Sep 7, 2026The IAEA is poised to gain enhanced verification and monitoring over Saudi Arabia’s sensitive nuclear activities as part of the US-Saudi civil nuclear cooperation, though Riyadh will not sign the Additional Protocol.

Rachel Meyers If Riyadh really has nothing to hide, signing the full protocol costs them nothing. This half-measure just tells me there's a reason they won't.
